Chapter 238: Cao Cao and Sun Jian ask for an edict
Lin Mu came to Juzhang County to see how the military arrangements were here. However, to Lin Mu's surprise, no! Juzhang County seems to be like the usual Dongye County, without the slightest preparation for the imminent war.
Generally speaking, when the city faces the threat of war, it will definitely set up some iron thorns, horse hole traps, tripping ropes, etc. not far from the city wall, but Lin Mu didn't see any of these traces, there was a problem!
However, although there is no preparation for war, the aboriginal pedestrians are very anxious, walking with three steps and two feet, looking like they are in a hurry.
Lin Mu approached the south city gate, ready to pay the entrance fee, the entrance fee of the Han Dynasty city is not expensive, according to the prosperity of the city, between a few to dozens of copper coins, ordinary people can afford it.
However, at this time, there were only twelve veterans guarding the city gate listlessly, six people in each row, bored in every way, the armor on their bodies was shabby, the boots under their feet were also tattered, and even the guys who ate in their hands were shabby iron guns, looking like they were underpaid.
Silently, he threw five copper coins into the copper coin box engraved with the word [five], and walked into the county seat of Juzhang in a bright and bright manner.
Lin Mu took a closer look at these veterans and found that there were a few remnants with missing arms and legs, and they were all on a mission to defend the city, which made him speechless, could it be that Xu Zhao had transferred all the soldiers in Juzhang County?
You'll need to find the Nightshade's stronghold and get the latest information.
Soon, Lin Mu was here in Nancheng, found a restaurant called [Night Wine Shop], looked at the newly made plaque, and Lin Mu smiled slightly. With the support of the territory's huge financial resources, the strongholds of the Night Shadow Department have begun to be laid out, which is good!
Lin Mu raised his feet and walked into the wine shop. The hall is not big, only twelve seats, four rows and three columns, and the right hand side of the door is the palm counter, which is antique.
In the evening wine shop, there are no customers, it seems that Juzhang City is a bit like the outside is loose and the inside is tight, but it is not right, if the inside is tight, it should send heavy troops to guard the city gate, strictly restrict the entry and exit of the city, and there will be patrol soldiers in the city to constantly patrol to prevent the enemy from the inside.
The wine shops generally receive drinkers or rangers, and now there is no customer, so there are some changes in Juzhang County.
As soon as Lin Mu appeared, a middle-aged shopkeeper wearing a cloth hat immediately greeted him, and asked with a smile: "This general, I don't know if it's for drinking or eating?" ”
Lin Mu is dressed as a soldier, and it is not unavoidable to be called a general by some businessmen.
Lin Mu didn't answer immediately, but looked around and said, "I drink, drink hometown wine!" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, his expression tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the wine of your lord's hometown?" ”
"Wine without regrets!" Lin Mu said softly, with a hint of remembrance.
"My lord, please, the hometown wine is ready!" The shopkeeper looked overjoyed, and hurriedly took Lin Mu to the back hall.
"Today, the thirty-ninth commander of Tianjia instructed us to pay attention to the wine of our hometown, and if the wine without regrets appears, bring it to the back hall. It seems that this man is the one who commands the Lord to wait. The middle-aged shopkeeper said in his heart.
When I came to the back hall, the shopkeeper knocked on the door gently, and a question came from inside the door: "Is there something wrong?" ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper immediately said respectfully: "My lord, the guests who drink the wine of the hometown without regrets are here!" Right outside the door. ”
"Oh, okay, you go down, and I'll do the next." There was another voice from inside the door.
"Yes!" The middle-aged shopkeeper walked away. He is a member of the Yellow Division of the Night Shadow Sect and knows the rules.
After the middle-aged shopkeeper left, Lin Mu pushed open the door, and Tianjia Thirty-Nine in the door greeted him and said in surprise: "The lord is finally here!" The recent information of Huiji County has been summarized, just waiting for the lord to check it! ”
The Night Shadow Department doesn't have much etiquette, only rules for doing things, and they don't do a lot of etiquette when they meet their bosses, but go straight to the topic!
"Good! Thank you for your hard work, everything happened too suddenly recently, the brothers of the Night Shadow Department must be running around and working hard every day, and when this Xu Zhao incident passes, reward everyone well! Lin Mu took an intelligence document from Tianjia Thirty-Nine, patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"This is what we should do!" Tianjia Thirty-Nine said with a slight smile.
"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll check the latest information first to see how the situation is going elsewhere." After Lin Mu finished speaking, he sat down and buried his head in the intelligence.
Tianjia Thirty-Nine was waiting beside him.
The pages of Qiankun's book are very limited, and even the Night Shadow Department, an important intelligence agency, cannot be equipped with pages, and can only report information in a primitive way.
This information is a summary of the intelligence in Huiji County, that is, the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Lin Mu took a quick look at the front, and there are three points that are worth paying attention to:
First, Sun Jian. At this time, Sun Jian's identity turned out to be Sima of Yangzhou Wu County, Fuchun County Lieutenant, he led his army of 400,000 horses, marched from the sea in a huge ship, and is currently stationed outside Yuyao County, facing the defenders in Yuyao City.
Sun Jian's fleet is developing rapidly, as a super general, Sun Jian is not only an army general, but also has a unique view on the construction of the navy, and he is a genius.
Second, Cao Cao. Cao Cao's identity was already known to Lin Mu, but Cao Cao's headquarters shocked him, and it reached one million. Cao Cao's force composition is half infantry and half cavalry, and he is currently stationed outside Zhuji City.
Third, Pingdu County, Yuzhang County, Yangzhou, ordered Wang Lang to send 400,000 troops to besiege Wushu City.
……
After seeing the information of these three important people who are more famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Lin Mu is even more sure in his heart that Xu Zhao has a huge temptation, making them swarm like sharks smelling blood.
Coupled with the Taiping Sect, Huiji County is really going to be in chaos.
Lin Mu sighed in his heart, he originally thought that it was an ordinary military operation to suppress the rebellion of the Dragon Court, and he was ready to use the merits of this local area to strengthen his political and military status, so as to pave the way for the later Yellow Turban Rebellion, but now it has evolved into a weakened version like the later Han princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo, [Princes' crusade against Xu Zhao]!
The princes were: Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Wang Lang, Lin Mu, and Taiping Dao.
……
In addition to the military operations of these bigwigs, the Night Shadow Department also discovered that most of the city guards in the Southern Zhao Kingdom (Huiji County) had been transferred to guard three important fortresses connecting the outer counties: Yuyao City, Zhuji City, and Wushu City.
These three cities are all arteries connecting with other counties.
Yuyao City, located just north of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, is connected to Wu County in the north, which is also the only city connected to Wu County, and the other cities are blocked by the Gaochuan River.
Zhuji City, located in the west of Nanzhao Kingdom, is connected with Danyang County in the west, and is also the only passage between Nanzhao Kingdom and Danyang County.
Wushu City, located in the southwest of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, is the only artery connected to Yuzhang County.
……
The marching routes of Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Wang Lang and others were arranged according to the external passage of the Southern Zhao Kingdom.
Among them, it is Sun Jian who attacks the main road of Yuyao City, if Sun Jian breaks through this city, he can drive straight in, the east can attack Juzhang City, Cheng County, and the west can attack Shangyu City, and then go straight to Xu Zhao's Laochao Shanyin Heavy City.
The attacker of Zhuji City is Cao Cao, if Cao Cao breaks through Zhuji City, he goes directly north, bypassing the west side of a huge lake [Mirror Lake], and can directly attack Sanyin City located to the north of Mirror Lake.
And Wang Lang, as the attacker of the southwest artery, after breaking through Wusheng City, he could go north, bypassing the east of Jinghu Lake, directly attacking Shangyu with Sun Jian, and then attacking the final target Shanyin City; If you go south, you can attack Taimo City, Zhang'an City, Yanxian County, Houguan City, Dongye City and other cities to recover the lost territory.
All three of them have their own advantages, Cao Cao is the closest to Shanyin City; The Yuyao City conquered by Sun Jian was located on the edge of the [Hanyao River], which required the use of ships and naval forces, and Sun Jian had an advantage in this regard; And Wang Lang, his advantage is that after breaking through the Wusheng City, he can directly subdue a large number of lost cities and reap meritorious deeds.
……
These three parties should be connected, otherwise they would not have stationed troops in important fortresses at the same time, jointly put military pressure on Xu Zhao, and also handed Xu Zhao a [crusade text] together, in the name of the orthodoxy of the world, to crusade against the thieves who are not subordinate!
In the event of such a rebellion in Yangzhou, presumably high-ranking officials such as Zhou Assassin Shi should be blamed by Long Ting, but the actions of Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others are a booster for the top management of Yangzhou, an unspoken rule signal: You don't have to be afraid, you don't need to consume the money in your pocket, as long as we dispatch, we can handle it, but we have to choose the baby or something.
The current Dahan local government, the wind of ** prevails, a county order, a county guard, a state assassin history, in the face of war, they are hateful, because the war together, what is consumed is manpower, material and financial resources, are in their pockets, of course they are unwilling.
Now the behavior of Cao Cao and others is a win-win situation for them! Why not, just an orthodox name, just give it to them. After the war, a county's city property, official positions, etc., can make them a lot of money.
Cao Cao and Sun Jian all went out with their own troops, and they had a lot of autonomy over the merits, items, etc., although they might be confiscated by the government after the war, but how they would hand over the most important items were held in their hands.
The interests are moving, what Cao Cao and Sun Jian and other super princes want to get must be very important to them, otherwise the rebellion of a county, how can they lose their own soldiers and horses.
Pushing others by himself, as far as Cao Cao and others are concerned, it is completely a military operation that Lin Mu wants to plan.
Lin Mu was thinking about how to get a share with them and maximize his benefits in this crusade when his strength had not fully reached their level.
Lin Mu touched the Juzhang County Lieutenant Talisman in his arms, and frowned in thought.
I don't know how many sergeants there are in the county lieutenant battalion in Juzhang County, if there are many more, then as long as Lin Mu implements the beheading plan, kills the county lieutenant high-level, and then shows the order, there must be a great chance to subdue the county lieutenant battalion sergeant.
